Perfect distribution, short residence time

Our crossheads have compact design and are very easy to handle and quick to assemble.

Description

Our Crosshead ECH 140/155 has a manual centring system and a conical shaped distributor.

The high performance and user friendliness of the head are achieved by combining smart design, close tolerances on all parts and unique distributor geometry. The conical distributor is designed in such a way that no special tools are required to install or remove it.

Included in the delivery are the vacuum connection (mainly for those working with tube tooling) and a tool kit for assembly or disassembly of the crosshead. Extrusion tooling of the previous 140/155 type crosshead can be used in the ECH 140/155.
